An Albemarle man is in the Stanly County jail charged with 16 counts of first-degree sex exploitation of a minor involving boys last month at the N.C. Baptist Assembly at Fort Caswell, according to a news release issued Wednesday night by the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office.

Clyde Wesley Way, 68, of Kirk Avenue, also is charged with four counts of employing or permitting a minor to assist in an offense involving a lewd act, and with four counts of indecent liberties with a child, according to sheriff’s office spokeswoman Emily Flax.

The offenses involved four boys ages 10 to 13 and occurred from June 24 to June 29, the release said. A calendar on a website for the N.C. Baptist Assembly indicated a youth week was being held at Fort Caswell during that period.
